I never have this problem using uBlock Origin.
-
Or mpv + yt-dlp
Just get rid of the entire shitty website. From rss reader straight to the video.
-
Youtube blocks vpns if you're not signed in so I need to keep changing my end point until I get an IP they don't associate with vpns to use those.

Said it before and i'll keep saying it. Youtube breaks my adblocker, i'm out of there
-
librewolf and ublock have never failed me before
-
Kinda suspected this was coming when this happened less than two weeks ago.
-
Needed to use chrome today for a site that refuses to work on firefox and got a popup uBlock Origin was removed from the chrome store. Lol

Fuck yo terms of service!

GOOGL knows that to become a long term successful company in a world of 4.50% interest rates, that P/E of 21 and dividend yield of 0.49% are barely cutting it.
They can no longer push popular platforms like YouTube as a loss leader.

Now, I kind of feel bad for them.. 😟

What's been working for me so far is just hard reloading the page, after that it seems to forget all about it so long as i'm on the same tab, though it also works just fine to keep making new tabs and hard reloading every time.

God I hope that youtube becomes inviable, it would break so many addictions
-
There's so much good content on there too, don't forget that.
-
the vast majority of my feed is really good and i have a bigass pile of subscriptions to channels i want to watch basically every video from because they're really good
learn to tell the algorithm to fuck off and serve you better things, don't just blithely slurp up whatever it feeds you.
-
Is there though?
-

-
Yes, starting getting this with ublock Lite.
I've noticed if you click the button to "make an exception', and refresh the page, you can watch the video anyway. But it's possible that their server can record you doing that several times and might eventually suspend you.

My self-hosted Invidious instance is still going strong
-
I'm planning to set it up. Any advice or for it work out of the box?
-
Invidious is switching to a new paradigm where the part that talks to YouTube will be split out into it's own service called invidious-companion. While not part of the current release, they have instructions for setting it up, and it's what I'm currently using. The only things that don't work right now are live videos and the Clipious Android TV app (the phone app works fine). If you don't need either of those things, I recommend starting with invidious-companion

Wow thanks for mentioning this
-
-
Super easy fix. Go Gecko!
-
Since some weeks I'm also getting an error in NewPipe/PipePipe, that my IP is temporarily blocked at YouTube - although I usually can just immediately resume and only get the error in the middle of the video like once or twice
Anyone else - and especially maybe with a solution?
-
Happens to me every now and then with FreeTube. Usually gets fixed with updates.

Had to whitelist them on vivaldi, dloaded freetube but cant use my account on there or multiple tabs so its not super convenient
